Scrappin Sunday - a bit of Super Bowl history (and scrappin' history too!) Couldn't resist. I did this page in 1999 - wow - there's been just a bit of change in my scrappin' style since then.
Work today - have to get my card kits bagged for classes this week. And work on Tracy's 'save the date' cards.
Enjoy your day!
Photo Saturday - this is another picture that Tracy took while she was in Buma - this was one of my favorites.
Too much fun yesterday - lunch, shopping, and a lot of laughs! It was a great day! Not sure what I'm doing today - Linda and I had planned a day trip to Rifle Falls to take some pictures but decided to postpone that trip because the forecast is calling for snow. Dang! So.......maybe some stamping today - I have a few new stamps I can play with.
Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!
The card - lg leaf stamp is from Hero Arts - script bacground stamp is Stampabilities - butterfly is Martha Stewart punch. I stamped the background stamp, then the leaf on top, then cut the image into squares and mounted them on the chocolate layer. Colors are baja and chocolate.
A play day today! Yea! Judy S and I are going to do something fun - not sure what that's going to be yet, but I'm looking forward to a fun and relaxing day! (and yes, I did get my house cleaned yesterday - the upstairs anyway - woohoo!)
Have a great day!
The card - here's another color combo that I really liked - pumpkin and razzleberry. Stamp is For All You Do (SU) Card and mat are white - black accents.
Well, I got most of the things on my list done yesterday - except for the cleaning house part. Guess that's going to be my job today.
Enjoy your day!
The card - stamps are from Papertrey - flowers from Prima - card is vanilla - ribbon is kraft. Label shape is die cut from Sizzix. Super easy.
Let's see - clean house, laundry, cut and bag kits, or errands - those are my choices for today. (can you tell I didn't choose cleaning the house yesterday? - maybe today!)
Have a wonderful day.
The card - stamp is from For All You Do (SU) - colors are basic grey, durango and saffron. I loved the look of this color combination when I saw it on someone's blog - just wanted to give it a try.
I'm trying to decide whether to work on class projects today or clean house - it's a toss-up - so I guess I'll see what I'm in the mood for after I've had a bit more caffieine.
Have a wonderful day.
Scrappin' Sunday - a layout with pictures from Christmas. Paper is from Bo-bunny. I need to add some names and journaling to this page - oops!
I had quite the productive day yesterday so now if I can keep the momentum going I will be able to finish up some projects I have started that just need a little more work.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
The card - used an older SU set for this one - Garden Collage. Colors are kraft and not quite navy. Scalloped rectangle is nestabilities.
Since I ventured out yesterday and got my errands done I think I will try to get some stamping done today......maybe even work on some class projects.
Happy stampin'
The card - stamps are from Vintage Vogue (SU) Colors are vanilla, kraft, suede and not quite navy.
More snow? Holy Cow! I was just beginning to be able to see the gravel in the driveway and the grass on the lawn again. Now it's a blanket of white again. Geez! Isn't it time for spring now???? Well, Ok, I know it's January and I live in Colorado, but still......... Have no idea what my plans are for the day - guess I really don't have any yet. I might just spend the day watching soap operas and eating bon bons - oh wait - I don't like soap operas and I have no bon bons! Dang! Guess I will have to come up with with a better plan.
Have a great day!
The card - stamp is Upsy Daisy (SU) I stamped the full image and then used a punch to to get the seperate squares. Colors are white and bermuda bay.
I kept getting side-tracked yesterday and didn't quite get all my work done that I had planned. So, today I need to get the kits cut and bagged for class tonight. But, hopefully I can get that done this morning so I can do a couple of errands this afternoon.
Have a great day!
The card - something a little different today - this is a hybrid card. Yep, I did part of this card on the computer using MDS (My Digital Studio) from SU. The kraft piece with the white medallion stamp is the part I did on the computer. I actually printed 2 of them and punched out the inner circle so I could pop it up. I cut the piece to the size I wanted and layered it on soft suede and then on a white card. I stamped the Happy Birthday (Papertrey) and added the ribbon and the pearl.
Need to get myself organized today - have to cut and bag kits for tomorrow night's class, plus get set up for class tonight.
Happy stampin'
The card - a little bit of Valentine's today. This one is kind of traditional - colors are riding hood red and white. I used the Vintage wheel on the white piece. Hearts are die cuts.
Need to get some paper work done this morning - yuk! Not my favorite thing, but a necessity. Then I think I will get started on Tracy's 'save the date' cards. I need to come up with some prototypes so she can decide what she wants.
Happy stampin'
Scrappin' Sunday - this was a layout we did in scrap class and I just added some fun pictures from Thanksgiving.
I'm planning another day of holing up in my stamp room - I think it's time to get started on some Valentine cards. (that's after I clean up the 'creative mess' I made yesterday)
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.
Photo Saturday - my daughter Tracy just returned from a trip to Burma (which, in her words was 'oh so amazing') She sent me some pictures yesterday via e-mail and I just wanted to share this one with you.I'm going to try and get creative this weekend and get some class projects done - or at least started! I have some awesome paper just waiting to be made into a book, so that's my goal today.
Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!
The card - stamp is from SU - inked with markers - olive, durango and curry. Card is dusty durango.
We're celebrating Deb & Emily's birthdays tonight. So I need to get some cooking done and birthday gifts made - and my stamp room cleaned up. I'm pretty sure all of that will keep me busy today.
Have a wonderful day.
The card - stamps are from Vintage Vogue (SU). Colors are kraft, suede and not quite navy.
A day to get things done - at least that's my plan. Errands and laundry are high on the list. Sounds pretty exciting, huh? But hopefully I will also have some time to get creative and work on some class projects.
Enjoy your day!
The card - I used a variety of stamps on this one - lg leaf is from Hero Arts - smaller leaves are from Verve - stripe on side is from SU. Colors are kraft, suede and artichoke.
The start of a new week and lots to get done. I have class tonight so I need to start with getting things together for that. I had such a productive weekend I hope I can keep the momentum going!
Happy stampin'
Scrappin' Sunday - a very simple layout - pictures are from the Arch in St Louis.
Yesterday was a real scrappin' marathon for me - 10 hours of fun, food and great company and......I got 6 two-page layouts done! Yea! Loved it - I can hardly wait for the next one in February.
I'm hoping Judy S is still planning coming to stamp today - hopefully I can get cards done today and I will feel really good that it was such a productive weekend.
Hope you are having a great weekend.
The card - the layout for this card came from a card Deb did at our Stamp Club last month. The flower is from Stampabilities and the thank you is from CTMH. Colors are kraft, olive and razzleberry.
I think I am going to try and get some stamping done today. I still haven't gotten my thank you cards done (oh, that's bad!) and I need to start thinking about Valentines.
Have a wonderful day!
The card - stamps are from the new Vintage Vogue set (SU). Colors are riding hood red and soft suede.
Looking forward to our Shoebox Club tonight - thank goodness we aren't doing projects because I'm not sure I'd have one done! We're doing a white elephant stamp exchange, eating and playing games. Yea! Just a fun, relaxing evening.
Have a great day!
The card - script background and leaves are from SU - words are from Papertrey. Colors are kraft and not quite navy.
Since I got absolutely nothing done yesterday (except a little cooking) I must get in gear today. I have class in the morning and still don't have the kits ready - oops! The company (my cousins kids) are going skiing today so I have no excuse for not getting my work done.
Happy stampin'
Scrappin' Sunday - a layout from our trip to Yosemite.
Hopefully I can finish up the class stuff today - need to get it all cut and bagged. Have to make a trip to the store because somehow I ended up saying I would make chicken & noodles for dinner tonight. Huh? Not sure how that happened.
Hope you are having a great weekend.
Photo Saturday - sunset and snow on the Colorado National Monument - taken from my front yard.
Well I am ending up with a little free time today - my company won't be arriving til later today so........maybe I can get my class stuff done and get a few other odds and ends done that I never got around to this week.
Hope your weekend is off to a great start!
The card - here's another one using the new Vintage Vogue set from SU. The card and flowers are regal rose, stems are olive. Flowers are stamped, then cut out - large flower is popped up.
I have company arriving from California in the morning, so I have to get my house in order and go to the grocery store today.
Have a wonderful day!
The card - a simple one today. Flower stamp is from SU - colors are razzleberry and olive.
Dang, those holidays were fun, but I guess it's time to get back to my regular schedule. Have to get class projects cut and bagged today, clean up the classroom area and be ready for class tonight. An ordinary sort of day.
Happy stampin'
Scrappin' Sunday - a blast from the past. This is a layout I did with some pictures from when I closed the store. (can't believe it's been 2 1/2 years!) The background layout is one we did in scrap class and I just added the pictures.
Deb is coming to stamp this afternoon - a good thing for me! I desperately need to get some cards done - haven't really done much stamping for the last month. So, hopefully I will be inspired and get lots done.
Hope you are having a great weekend!
The card - this is another card that Emily so kindly let us do from her class. Colors are kraft, vanilla and suede. Stamp set is Serene Snowflakes.
I need to focus today. I still haven't gotten my class projects done for next week and I need to have them done before Monday! Yikes! So, that's my goal for the day.
Have a wonderful day!
The card - Emily was kind enough to let us copy some of her class cards at our last get-together. This was one of my favorites. Large butterfly is a diecut, small butterfly is stamped and cut out. This flourish stamp is actually from Papertrey (Emily's used a SU one of course)
OK, enough with the snow already! And we're supposed to get more this afternoon & tonight. Yuk! I need to go to the grocery store so I may have to sneak that in this morning before it starts snowing again.
Happy stampin'
The card - lots of white! I'm trying to get thank you cards done so I'm using a lot of snowmen/snowflakes. Couldn't resist this white on white. The snowman is from a very old SU set (Festive Four) There is a bit on color (baja) on the snowman's scarf and hat.
I really need to get some of my mess cleaned up today. I've flitted from one thing to another the past two days and somehow made a mess in every room in the house. So, I'm going to try and get some things straightened up this morning and maybe work on some class projects this afternoon.
Have a fabulous day!
The card - not much stamping, just some pretty paper & ribbon. Colors are baja and bayou.
Have a lot to get done this week and I'm not sure where to start. Still have to do thank you cards, get started on class projects and finish cleaning up the Christmas decorations. I did finish my calendar project yesterday, so now that's ready to mail. I'm sure I will find something to keep me busy today.
Have a great day!
Scrappin' Sunday - a layout we did in class and I just had to add the pictures. I do need to add some journaling to that journaling piece in the left-hand corner though.
I'm going to spend the day in my stamp room and try to get thank you cards done! I also need to finish up a gift for my cousins in California (Hi Marleen!) Yep, I'm a little late with that one, but hopefully I can get it finished and in the mail this week.
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.
Photo Saturday - lights, lights and more lights! This is one of the sights we saw while driving around looking at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I certainly did. Made a haul with gifts (oh, yes, that's really not the important part is it? But it's fun!) But I thoroughly enjoyed the celebrations with family and friends. We did miss Tracy though.
Now, today I suppose it's time to get the mess cleaned up and think about taking the decorations down. I might be able to talk myself into at least getting started on that! We'll see.............
Have a great weekend!
The card - stamp is from Wandering Words (SU) Printed paper is from Bo-Bunny. Colors are Ruby Red and chocolate.
I think I'm ready - well, I still have to wrap the presents and make a quick trip to the bakery. But, that's it. Dinner out with Jeff & Sara tonight, followed by driving around to look at Christmas lights - it will be fun, we haven't done that in several years.
Have a wonderful Christmas Eve.
The card - stamp is from SU - snowman is cut out and popped up. Colors are bayou and baja.
More snow? Yikes - I was just begnning to see a few patches of bare ground in my yard. Hopefully the roads won't be too bad because I have to go to the grocery store today and I also need to finish up my Christmas shopping.
Happy stampin'
The card - baja and white - background is embossed with a new Quick-kutz embossing folder. Stamp is from Inkadinkado.
I'm taking a play day today! I know, I still have shopping to do, presents to wrap, etc., but........what the heck - it's Christmas. So, Judy S and I are planning a Christmas play day. Who knows where the day will take us - maybe something wild and crazy.
Have a wonderful day!
The card - stamp is from SU - printed paper is from Bo-Bunny. Not your traditional Christmas colors, but I love this paper with the glitter.
Another Christmas get-together tonight - I'm turning into quite the social butterfly these days. Have to get some clean-up done around here this morning and then head to town to do some shopping.
Have a wonderful day!
